Don’t they have to make sure that only US citizens contribute? I don’t think they’re allowed to solicit funds form non-citizens. But I imagine they thought of that anyway. I might not vote for him, but I’d rather not see 4 more years of the same. So good luck.
are non-US citizens likely to give money to cause that they have no say in? I find it hard to believe that many of the US citizens here would give a sizeable sum to the cause.
If said non-US citizen has an interest in securing contracts for something from the government, they may be tempted to try to ingratiate themselves to a prospective candidate.
Hypothetically.
Didn’t Al Gore have some problems like that? I forget.
Last year there was a case of a business man from Jersey giving to the UK Labour Party via third parties. And people in the party knew and it all came out and resignations followed. And there was someone else who wanted to be anonymous but noone had heard of him until his.
What if one candidate was more pro-Taiwan? Wouldn’t people here prefer him to win?
I seem to remember something about China trying to influence some US election years ago.
But yes, it does seem a bit odd wanting to give money to a candidate in a country you’ve left.
Why? Many people, myself included, still care about the leadership of the country of which they are citizens. I’m still affected by US travel restrictions and taxation policy, too. So I still vote, and I have contributed to this election campaign as well.

McDees would be a more patriotic choice.
